This Lullaby

I have read Sarah dessen before and loved her books! But this book I didn't like. I felt as if this wasn't a book meant for teens. There was under age drinking,lots of talk of sex. I just wasn't comfortable while reading. I only made it almost to the middle of book. :( .

When Remy crosses paths with Dexter, a guy who is in a band, he world of relationships changes. From the moment Dexter saw Remy, he knew she was the one. From the moment Remy met Dexter she knew he was immature. Remy only wants a summer fling before she heads off to college in the fall while Dexter wanted forever. Remy learns the hard way that in the real world relationships do not follow a schedule. 

This particular book by Dessen was exactly what the back of the book stated, "the science of breaking up." The characters in this book were well written but the overall plot was not what I had imagined it to be. I heard from several of my friends that this was one of their top 5's, it however never made it into my top 50. Dessen has written much better books before This Lullaby that are amazing pieces of work. Remy to me seems to be to cynical of a character and Dexter deserves better.
